Scott T. Hanson of Your Historic House joined the Practical Preservation podcast to discuss his book, Restoring Your Historic House, the result of 4 years of hard work and dedication to present a practical and comprehensive guide for historic homeowners. We covered a multitude of topics including:
- How the present-day Conway Scenic Railroad and train station served as a catalyst for Scott’s passion for preservation
- Scott’s observation that a dearth of information on preservation for homeowners necessitated filling that gap, and inspired him to write his book
- Lessons, challenges, and resources for aspiring preservationists and homeowners
- Advice for homeowners interested in preservation, restoration, or rehabilitation, including practical examples of ways to offset costs
- The book’s detailed inspiring stories of homeowners’ projects, including a description a local Central PA project featured in (and on the front cover!) of the book
- Information on book-purchasing options and opportunities to meet Scott
